Capital Market Director Programme (CMDP)

The Capital Market Director Programme (CMDP) is an exclusive platform for boards of directors and senior leaders of licensed intermediary institutions to equip themselves with the knowledge, skills and expertise to influence and eventually contribute to the pursuit of excellence in corporate governance.

The programme is also designed to allow them to explore and deliberate on pertinent issues affecting the industry from multi-stakeholders’ perspectives.

Introduced in May 2015, the programme is compulsory for all directors of Capital Markets Services Licence (CMSL) holders for dealing in securities, derivatives and fund management in relation to portfolio management.

The programme comprises five modules and was designed with valuable inputs and feedback from various industry engagements such as focus group discussions and closed consultation papers.

CMDP Module 1: Corporate Governance for Capital Market Institutions

Licensed intermediary institutions play an important systemic role in the capital market ecosystem. The growth or decline of the capital market is influenced by, among others, the success and failure of these institutions. Hence, the quality of leadership at these institutions is paramount. Kiel et al., 2012 suggest four levels of competence required of a board. They are as follows:
Industry: Experience in and knowledge of the industry in which the organisation operates
Technical: Technical/professional skills and specialist knowledge to assist with ongoing aspects of the board’s role
Governance: The essential governance knowledge and understanding all directors should possess or develop if they are to be effective board members
Behavioural: The attributes and competencies enabling individual board members to use their knowledge and skills to function well as team members and to interact with key stakeholders
